Just after I took this, a girl stuffed a bunch of ballots into the box. It was quite spectacularly planned - they sent several annoying people to try to distract the observers by pretending to talk to me - but we still saw it.

The young woman on the right is the one whom I saw stuffing the ballot. She is now accusing Marat, left, who is Dagestan’s main independent election observer, of assaulting her, which he didn’t. pic.twitter.com/YLsQTkflB9

Marat Ismailov, the Dagestan election observer, is finally out after the cops tried to arrest him for stopping ballot stuffing and some goons showed up to beat him up. He says while this was going on the polling station workers cranked up turnout from 30% to 55% pic.twitter.com/iU8xNZkyCK

America this is what Trump wants. Be aware and be strong. And put the Swamp Critters in jail.
